"I can do anything and become anyone, so I won't have such a thing as a dream~"
"However, I do think things like Pretty Cure are very powerful!"
I don't know why I felt this way, so I followed my own thoughts
"I not only want you to be mine, but I also want your hearts to shine brighter. It's really annoying."
So, what you're looking for is that we haven't fully developed what is called "dazzling" yet?
Cold sweat, no longer falling down.
This is even more desperate than the despair after Dysdark blocked the dream. It is the nihilistic corner of despair within despair.
For some reason, in Yao's eyes, Ash, who was still smiling at this moment, was like a black hole with Mugen's gravity, twisting and sucking in the light that escaped from her dreams bit by bit. Until the existence named "Haruno Haruka" is torn apart and swallowed bit by bit...
In this case, who is the "Ash" I saw...?
Who am I in his eyes...?
"That's not the case!"
The whistling wind in her ears awakened the girl from the dangerous "nothingness". Ash, who was holding the book on the other side, saw Kirara running out of breath. He thought he was here to seek revenge and was ready to use strong words.
"This is not what you think, listen to my explanation Kirara-chan~"
"What's happening now has nothing to do with us for the time being!"
Decisively raising her hand to wipe the beads of sweat on her forehead, the girl pointed at the man with an "objection" finger like a defense lawyer slamming the table in court!
"Ash, if you said you want us to be your Queen! Then do you dare to say that you really like us?"
"What does this mean? I've said it so many times, Kirara, I like——"
"No!"
Faced with this completely exposed "nothingness", she did not stop, and without fear, the girl pointed at the man again and asked him to repeat it.
"I'm not asking Black Night King, nor that stinky gangster! I'm asking Ash, the real Ash who belongs to you!"
"You dare to say that the one you really like is not Pretty Cure!"
"Is it about Haruno Haruka, Kaito Minami, Amanogawa Kirara!"
"Of course I do!"
"I like——"
"Happy——"
"S——"
"I——"
"..."
The pink figure and her smile flashed by in a hurry.
who I am?
At this time, Ash felt like something was stuck in his throat and couldn't say a word.
Chapter 61 Ash Black Hole Theory?
"What are you talking about?"
Ash recalled, recalling that there was no unpleasant past so far.
I established Black Night Kingdom on a whim because I wanted to experience the feeling of being a superior. I continued to recruit citizens and accepted their worship with peace of mind while providing shelter.
In order to make this Black Night Kingdom a country in the true sense, so that my citizens are not a group of shadowy beings huddled in a castle, but live under the uncovered blue sky, I can confidently launch an "invasion" against the earth. It doesn't matter whether the enemy is Pretty Cure or Dysdark, because I will only knock down all the guys who stand in the way.
Then, I changed my mentality again, in order to get Pretty Cure's "body and mind", I became a romantic who continued to launch offensives to seduce their hearts from all aspects. Although this identity has the most failures, its results are indeed gratifying.
It doesn't matter whether I become a school janitor at the Noble Academy in order to be close to them, or I become another profession in order to make money and experience other lives. I don't find it difficult at all. No matter what it is, I am confident that I can do my best.
However, whether it is King, an invader, a school janitor, or a romantic, it is not the only "label". I just choose different countermeasures when faced with different options... No, it should be said that when I am expected, I will become the expected existence.
"I am..."
At this time, Ash thought of a key point that he had never thought of... no, it should be said that it was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ash."
I am a being named Ash, there is no doubt about it.
But, when I'm not expected to, when I don't need to think or do anything.
who I am?
"..."
Question, I couldn't find the answer for a while.
Or is he not in the mood to find the answer?
"To be honest, the way you behave is indeed disgusting yet perfect."
Although Kirara has always said that Ash is a scoundrel, Ash did say a lot of greasy lines in line with that book.
It's just that Ash is too qualified even as a "gangster". He will always appear where they are needed most. His greasy and intimate methods will always be let go when they are about to touch their bottom line, and then he will show his meticulous tenderness and a little care at the right time.
After just being with him for a while and getting a glimpse of his "reality", even Kirara felt himself confused.
"The fact that I was almost attracted to you is proof of that."
All kinds of earthy love stories may sound greasy and corny, but they are just used in the wrong place. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If it were any other ordinary girl, between the right amount of gentleness and mischief, plus this guy's already strong enough rigid conditions, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand such an offensive.
Thinking about it now, she feels a little scared, if she hadn't happened to find this book that provided inspiration and pierced the sense of dissonance.
If they weren't Pretty Cure, whose feelings about the soul are more obvious than their appearance.
It's probably already fallen.
"Wei is right. Just like you, we do have our own ways of doing things."
"But in other places, it is decisively different!"
At this point, Kirara actually admitted it directly.
For the sake of my own dreams and goals, I once deliberately alienated her people's good intentions, and I didn't even want to take on Pretty Cure's responsibility for a while. It was the unremitting efforts of Minami and HaruHaru that melted my once-ice-hard heart and made me decide to fight.
However, it is different from the "selfishness" that I have for my own dreams.
"You and I absorb all the 'dreams' that exist around us into our own bodies..."
"Black hole...?"
As Kirara spoke, Haruka couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the existence that was deeper than pitch black that he had accidentally glimpsed on Ash.
That is, something even deeper than the despair after Dysdark blocked his dream. The only thing I can think of is a black hole.
"Yeah, a black hole! Like a heavy black hole!"
Yao's unintentional words just woke up Kirara who had forgotten her words. At this moment, she seemed to have endless words to say.
"You even absorb other people's hearts to satisfy your own. Are you so nihilistic!?"
No wonder you say that your citizens are just your own gears and props. If you look at it this way, it doesn't matter whether you are good or bad to them.
"But~"
After listening to Kirara's long list of objections, Ash, who didn't feel any aggression at all, shrugged indifferently.
"Being able to work hard for others is a good virtue that is highly sought after in your world, right?"
You Pretty Cure are obviously fighting for this.
"If you put it that way, I'm not doing a very good job, and you still have to praise me for it—"
Is the so-called reality so important?
"The problem is-" The girl's face turned red with anxiety, and her small fists clenched even more tightly. "You are close to what we have shown you so far!"
"Hasn't he always been a bad guy who wants our hearts?!"
"!"
It seems that this is indeed the case.
"And your pursuit of us seems even more ridiculous now!"
"It is unreasonable to pursue a girl through imitation and acting. If you want to pursue someone, you should look at her! Instead of trying to deceive with words that are not your own!"
After all, you will pursue our roots because we will produce the so-called "shine" that only Pretty Cure can exist!
"Ash-sensei or King! You should take women seriously and revise your outlook on love!"
"That's why I asked you before if you like the real us!"
The girl who suppressed her own shame said loudly.
"If you really like us in person!"
It doesn't matter if you want us to be Queen, or if you want to really interact with us!
Even if you are playing hooligan... at least you have to do it with your true intentions!
"Then at least come in person and say you like us!"
Otherwise, it would be too much to use us as a joke to satisfy yourself even though you don't have the intention at all!
Otherwise, if it really succeeds, who are we interacting with!
Ash didn't speak, just shook his head lightly.
"Let's go, Haruka!" Unable to stay any longer, the girl didn't even want to pay attention to the other party's reaction. "Ignore people like this who only think about themselves!"
"This person doesn't like us at all!"
"He is just pursuing the Pretty Cure in his imagination!"
Chapter 62: Who is the person Ash really likes?
"Real?"
Looking at the back of Kirara who was about to leave without looking back, the man who was gently rubbing his chin with his fingers had a bored expression on his face.
Logically speaking, after she pointed at her nose and said such a lot of things, I should immediately go up and catch her, and then spank her hard in retaliation to teach her that the dignity of a king cannot be violated.
But after what she said just now, especially after she said that Ash didn't like them at all, but just wanted to be favored by Pretty Cure.
Now Ash doesn't feel angry at all. Now he only feels completely indifferent.
What's going on?
Ash's face changed when he realized this. If he really didn't care, then...
Did she fully prove her statement?
"You said that the person I am now is not my reality?"
But.
Whether it was when I was King or when I was pursuing shining with you, I never forced myself and I was very happy.
In this case, is truth so important?
What is the so-called reality?
"Ash-sensei."
"Huh?" A voice calling from the side made Ash react from his solitary silence. "Haruka, you didn't come with us?"
"I feel like I still have something to say to you. Well...Ash, can I call you that?"
"Okay."
If he could get such a serious reaction from Haruka, it should be a great joy that would make Ash say that the strategy is a success.
But now, he doesn't feel anything at all.
